If you know what works best for you and if your job is 80/20 on what you like then you can put up with the small stuff like filing and filling out expense forms. This is an important thing to know.

Where I used to work we had a Mailroom and I would plunk what I needed in a tray with a form to tell them how I wanted it to turn out and return to get it when it was finished. I am good at some things, but not as confident in other things. For instance, I am horrible at collating. I liked that. Now I have to do it myself.

Agree To Disagree These digital channels lack most forms of emotional communication, as well as body language. You live in different time zones, you may have different interests, or different family lives.

Ok, Bianca is having a “BAD_EXC”, time to start debugging. Sometimes I even had the feeling that the source code on the editor was forming a twisted and evil smiley.
